Platinum is not a gold substitute
Platinum has rarity, but its market depends heavily on industrial demand. Auto catalysts, jewelry buying, fuel-cell expectations, and South African supply disruptions can all change the price picture.
Buyers usually study platinum after gold and silver, then decide whether a smaller satellite position fits their tolerance for volatility.
- Rarer than gold, but less monetary history
- Thinner market and sharper liquidity questions
- Industrial demand can help or hurt
- Written buyback terms matter before purchase
Use recognized coins and approved bars
American Platinum Eagles, Canadian Platinum Maple Leafs, and bars from approved refiners are the cleanest product set for most buyers. Each choice should be checked for purity, refiner acceptance, and custodian compatibility.
Platinum can qualify inside a self-directed IRA, but it must meet .9995 fineness and be held by an approved depository through the custodian process.
- American Platinum Eagle
- Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf
- Approved .9995 platinum bars
- Custodian acceptance before IRA purchase
